Before starting the project-site on Berlios, I actually thought of 
joining the SANE-project somehow. But looking at the contents of the 
current sane-package, I found it to be off-topic to place an application 
like unpaper there. Actually, Gerard's suggestion is exactly what I 
originally looked for, but didn't find.

I would like to close the BerliOS-project again, because I feel such a 
single tool is too fine-grained for one whole OS-project (and even more 
for having its own debian-package, as I think would be implied by 
Johannes Berg's idea of sane-tools as a meta-package). As I already 
wrote in the announcement: > Almost too small for being an open-source 
project on its own.

So, I would like to follow Gerard's suggestion.
Maintaining unpaper in the CVS-tree will be ok for me, as it is only a 
single .c-source file and a man page.

Jens
